Hi folks... I have read the archives and looking for input specific to my estimated requirements:
Want to index about 100 million public webpages. Space and bandwidth are not a problem - coming up with the right hardware and keeping the cost down is my goal. I would estimate only 1-2 searches per second at least during the first hardware phase. With that in mind I'm trying to figure out whether to use a couple of larger Dell servers or a bunch of small single CPU, 1 Gig RAM, 160 GB hard drive type of machines.... Anyone share what they are using for hardware for about 100 million webpages and their search result times etc?? Realworld is important to me and being able to scale is important....
